The implementation of smart grid permits different system participants (e.g., distributed generations and loads) to interact in a rational and independent behavior to improve the distribution system (DS) performance. Each participant is recognized as a selfish decision maker that selects actions that improve its own payoff leading to conflicts with others. Therefore, further investigations are required to improve the decision making process outcomes. In this paper, a decentralized cooperative algorithm is developed to manage the multiparticipants DS operation. The proposed algorithm has been developed based on a correlated equilibrium game-theoretic approach. The outcomes of the proposed algorithm were compared with the traditional existing "best response" (BR) game-theoretic approach, which was utilized in similar multiparticipants DSs that converge to Nash equilibrium. The proposed algorithm is tested with two different case studies that were selected by the DS operator. The proposed algorithm was verified using a modified IEEE 123-bus test feeder. The test results showed a superior system performance compared with traditional BR techniques.
